Because the teacher has not been charged or arrested authorities have not released the teacher's name.

Although the Clarksville Police Department has not released any details, an unnamed source who is close to the investigation told WLKY that the teacher was sending the student text messages asking her to send him inappropriate photos.

That source said the investigation got underway about a month and a half ago when the student's parent came forward with the allegations.

Superintendent Kim Knott, of Clarksville Community Schools, sent a letter to parents regarding a police investigation at Clarksville High School.

The letter Knott sent to parents read:

"Dear Parents/Guardians: The Clarksville Police Department informed me this week of an investigation into allegations of inappropriate electronic communication between a teacher at Clarksville High School and a student.

"The teacher who is the subject of that investigation was immediately removed from the classroom and suspended pending further investigation. We are coordinating with the Clarksville Police Department regarding this matter. In addition, we have begun our own investigation, which remains ongoing.

"I want to assure you that we are taking this situation very seriously and we hold our staff to high standards. We will not condone any inappropriate behavior.

"The safety and well-being of your child is our top priority. While this is a personnel matter, I am communicating this news with you in an effort to be transparent and to let you know this matter has our full attention.

"If you have any questions, please contact my office at (812) 282-7753."
